Now the National Crime Columnist for the Toronto Sun, Hunter takes listeners step by step through that horrific day that left nearly 3,000 dead in New York, Washington and a Pennsylvania field and forever changed the American landscape.

The dead, injured and traumatized were the victims of Osama bin Laden’s al-Qaida death cult in their brazen attack.

From the tear-drenched funerals of cops and firefighters to the hunt for a madman to a lonely Christmas Eve in Erie, Pennsylvania where a newly-widowed young woman tried to salvage the holiday for her newborn and toddler, Hunter recounts how those dark days tormented his soul for years to come.

That day continues to shape our world and the people affected by its horrible events.
